Candidate for a vacancy to face Conor McGregor in a duel that will mark the Irishman's return to MMA after a serious ankle injury, Michael chandler It's just praise for 'Notório'.

“He was knocked down countless times in other fights and always maintained his composure. His mental capacity and stability in the octagon (…) is something to watch. He's another level of competitor. Anyone who doesn't give him credit because he lost fights is either a casual fan or a hater, to be honest,” Chandler said, in an interview with podcast 'Bussin with the boys'.
Looking for a clash with Conor, Chandler wants to regain his prestige at lightweight in Ultimate. The athlete comes from two negative results in a row and has only one triumph with the Ultimate gloves.
On the other side, McGregor is recovering from the serious injury suffered in the clash against Dustin poirier, in July. At the time, in a historic trilogy for Ultimate, the Irishman was trying to erase the defeat that occurred in January 2021, but ended up losing in the new clash and also fracturing his left ankle.
With no plans to return to the octagon, Conor still doesn't know who his next rival will be. In recent months, the fighter has made numerous challenges, but nothing concrete.
